Everlasting Gobstopper
Everlasting Gobstopper by Lee Krasnow. The puzzle is a sold-out, limited edition, #2 of 8. The pieces are etched with the type of wood (see pieces photo for an example). Similar to Coffin's Peanut, this can be assembled in many different shapes besides the one shown. Fit and finish is very good; all pieces grade A-C on Lee's quality scale. The first two pictures are from a recent auction by Nick Baxter. The subsequent two pictures show the puzzle's current non-assembly. I've been unable to r...

Celtic Braiding
"Make a symmetric, one band Celtic Braiding using all the 19 pieces." Although it looks like a jigsaw puzzle, it is much more difficult, given that the target shape is not known. This is a really nice puzzle and is rather heavy (around 1 lb or 0.5 kg, I would estimate). Comes with original instructions, no solution is provided (available upon request).

Pent up - Eric Harschbarger
Original Pent up puzzle designed and made by Eric Harschbarger.One of his most recent puzzles, he produced only a very limited quantity.Eric has made a design
where 12 pentominoes cover the six sides of a cube. What remarkable is that the
pentominoes all have a surface of 5 units. If the cube sides were made of the
same unit size x 9 you’ll end up with 60 units covering 54 units! Eric has
found a way to cover this problem by slightly altering the dimension of the
cube. Eric’s first atte...

The Elizabeth Cube or "CUBELIZA"
The letters of ELIZABETH incorporated, along with four other nondescript connecting pieces, into a solid cube with no voids. Not fully interlocking (the letter pieces are all planar), in fact the wenge 'T' will fall away if the cube is inverted. Disassembly is therefore not difficult but reassembly without pictures or a very good memory most definitely is! Woods are wenge, padauk, oak, maple, mahogany, walnut, cedar, zebrawood.

Tube It In By Mr. William Strijbos
This is a very collectable packing puzzle by William Strijbos. I have had it since the 1990's. Very fun to solve. The pictures are from John Rausch's website under craftsmen, William Strijbos. I know the buyer will be very happy with this one. It's made from precision cut galvanized steel. It's very heavy for it's size. It is as new because it has been packaged and stored with other collectables.Shipping will be $10.00 for the U.S.A. and $25.00 International Shipping.
